The October edition of our Milk Market Outlook is here!

Global milk supply keeps rising, putting downward pressure on prices. In Europe, milk collection hit 11.8 Mt (+3.9% vs 2024) with strong prices. The US saw a +4.0% increase in milk production, but raw milk prices dropped. New Zealand set September records in volume and solids, with prices holding steady. In China, milk prices are slowly recovering after past overproduction.

Anthelmintic resistance has become a daily reality on many dairy sheep farms.

Episode 3 of the Antherin Project series explores how anthelmintic resistance develops, why the efficacy of some parasiticides is decreasing, the visible consequences when treatments fail, and how vets and farmers are adapting their practices to protect animal welfare and animals’ production.

Discover the scientific basis of resistance and the crucial role vets play in slowing its progression through smarter treatment choices, proper dosing, diagnostics, and farmer education.

Did you know that the hormone progesterone (P4) isn’t just about maintaining pregnancy?

It influences the health of the oocyte before fertilization and helps create the optimal uterine environment after.

A recent article from Ceva Ruminants explains how higher P4 during follicle growth and early post-insemination can improve embryo development and recognition of pregnancy.

Understanding these mechanisms is key to improving reproductive efficiency in modern cattle breeding programs.

BTV-3 in Europe: Summer 2025 Update

Since 2023, Bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV-3) has become established in Europe. This summer, outbreaks were reported in several countries including France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Austria or Italy, and the virus has now reached new regions like the Czech Republic, Greece, and Romania.

BTV-3 is now considered enzootic in many countries, making vaccination essential to protect animals and farms.

Parasitism in grazing herds is a real threat for sheep and resistance to eprinomectin (endectocide with 0 days milk withdrawal period) is a growing challenge for dairy sheep.

Episode 1 of the Antherin Project series “One flock, many eyes” shows how vets, farmers and researchers work together to understand what is happening in the field and develop practical solutions that protect animal welfare and milk production.

The episode walks through the project’s objectives and design, explains why eprinomectin performance is so important in dairy systems, highlights the farmer–veterinarian–researcher collaboration model, and illustrates the practical implications for grazing herds.

Are you getting the most out of your sheep feeding strategy?

Feeding represents up to 70% of total production costs in sheep farming. Optimizing it not only boosts profitability but also enhances animal health and welfare.

In our new Ceva Ruminants article, we explore the key nutrient needs of sheep across different growth phases, how to tailor nutrition whether you aim for meat, milk, or wool production and why synchronizing feeding and watering really matters.

Neonatal diarrhea is one of the main causes of calf illness and mortality during the first 30 days of life.

Early and accurate diagnosis makes all the difference. With the Ceva Quick Diar test, you can identify the cause in less than 10 minutes and apply targeted measures.

Colostrum replacers are key for newborn calves when maternal colostrum is unavailable or poses a disease risk.

Why it matters:
- Ensures passive immunity (IgG) to protect against neonatal diseases.
- Supplies energy, vitamins, and minerals to kickstart digestive and metabolic systems for healthy growth.
- Reduces illness and antibiotic use, supporting calf health beyond the first feeding.

While nothing beats high-quality maternal colostrum, replacers offer a safe and standardized alternative to give every calf a strong start.

Global beef markets remain under pressure as supply tightens and prices climb.

In Europe, the persistent cattle shortage keeps pushing prices to record highs, while imports from Mercosur continue to growth. Brazil achieves record export volumes despite new U.S. tariffs and currency headwinds. China shows early signs of recovery, with prices slowly rising and imports accelerating. Meanwhile, the U.S. market faces tight supplies and high retail prices, reflecting continued pressure on domestic production.
